Barack Obama’s victory: has the threat of war gone away?

press release
Wednesday November 19, 2008 11:23 by pat c - HOPI
Barack Obama’s victory has enthused millions of people across the globe. But anti-war activists should be careful not to cheer him too loudly. Much was made of his claim to want to meet Iran’s president Ahmadinejad “without preconditions” to sort out the ‘disagreements’ . And, after all, both have quite a lot in common: they want to see the Shia government succeed in Iraq and are strong opponents of the Taliban in Afghanistan. But Obama has also made clear that he will do “anything” to stop Iran from developing the facility to produce nuclear weapons. He has “not ruled out” the prospect of war. Furthermore, “If Iran continues its troubling behaviour, Obama and Biden will step up our economic pressure and political isolation”, it says on Barack Obama’s campaigning website. So, even harsher sanctions and economic warfare are likely to be introduced by new US President – which will hit the poor and the working class the hardest. |

Jump To Comment: 1 2The evil of Bush is over and American has CHANGED! The American people voted for CHANGE and Obama is bringing CHANGE as we speak.
Text of an e-mail titled "Where we go from here" received today (in Ireland) from the http://www.barackobama.com web site:
==========
"Please take a few minutes and help shape the future of this movement.
Share your campaign experience and your thoughts on the best way to keep supporting our agenda for change (via http://my.barackobama.com/page/s/pesurvpage1 ).
The inauguration is just 62 days away, and as President-elect Obama and Vice President-elect Biden prepare to take office, they'll need your support more than ever.
You've built an organization in your community and across the country that will continue to work for change -- whether it's by building grassroots support for legislation, backing state and local candidates, or sharing organizing techniques to effect change in your neighborhood.
Your hard work built this movement. Now it's up to you to decide how we move forward.
Take this short survey and share your ideas:

Thanks to you, this country has an historic opportunity. Electing Barack was the first big step, but there's a lot of challenging and important work ahead.
Together, we can keep making history,

Although I'm not sure about this, I think anybody can probably join in the above mentioned survey and debate, to some extent at least, even those who are not US citizens, and who do not live in the US.
And another thing: maybe the above e-mail text could provide some food-for-thought for our own Government?
Fat chance?
Don't mention it before breakfast though - we wouldn't want to see any of them vomiting on an empty stomach.
